Data Center to Cloud Migration

Find answers to questions regarding app migration.

This page helps you resolve common issues that may arise when migrating Extension for Jira Service Management from Data Center to Cloud.

Note

For detailed instructions on settings related to JCMA, consult Atlassian Cloud migration guide and Atlassian documentation.

To learn details about the migrated data, it’s recommended to download app migration logs via Actions > View logs. The logs contain warnings and errors detected during migration. The sections below cover the most common problems and describe how to fix them.

What should I do if the migration fails due to a timeout?

If the app migration fails due to a timeout, you can re-run the migration within 12 days of the original attempt. During a re-run, all the already-migrated projects are skipped.

Why does app data migration fail due to a missing project Cloud mapping?

This can happen when a migration plan includes app data for a project that has not yet been migrated by Jira Cloud Migration Assistant. To resolve the issue, either:

  • migrate the missing project first, then re-run the current plan, or
  • create a new migration plan that includes the project and its app data.

Why are there unresolved request type(s) after migration?

Log message

Could not resolve request type(s) for project <id>: DC IDs <ids>. These entries were skipped.

This problem may occur when a project was migrated successfully, but one or more request types couldn’t be matched to a Cloud equivalent and were excluded from the migrated configuration. The DC request type IDs listed have no corresponding Cloud request type ID.This means the request type wasn’t migrated by Jira Cloud Migration Assistant.

To fix the problem

First, ensure the affected request types have been migrated to Cloud. Next, you can:

  • manually reconfigure the affected settings in Request Details View for the project, or
  • create a new migration plan for the affected project(s), selecting App data only as the scope.

The resolved request types will be included in the re-migrated configuration.

Log message:

Could not resolve issue link type(s) for project <id>: <names>. These entries were skipped.

This message indicates that the project was migrated successfully, but one or more issue link type configurations couldn’t be matched to a Cloud equivalent and were excluded from the migrated configuration. This typically happens when a link type exists in DC but has no counterpart in the Cloud instance.

To fix the problem:

First, create the missing issue link type(s) in the Cloud instance. Next, you can:

  • manually reconfigure the affected issue link types in the Request Details View settings for the project, or
  • create a new migration plan for the affected project(s), selecting electing App data only as the scope

Once re-migrated, the configuration will reflect the new link types.

Why are there unresolved group(s) after migration?

Log message:

Could not resolve group(s) for project <id>: <names>. These entries were skipped.

This message indicates that the project was migrated successfully, but one or more SLA visibility groups couldn’t be matched to a Cloud group and were excluded from the migrated configuration. The group may not have been migrated to Cloud or may have a different name.

To fix the problem

Create the missing group(s) in the Cloud instance. Then, you can:

  • manually reconfigure the SLA visibility settings for the affected project(s), or
  • create a new migration plan for the affected project(s), selecting App data only as the scope.

This process will re-migrate the configuration by using the now-available groups.

Why does the log show ‘No configuration to migrate’ for a project?

Log message:

No configuration to migrate for project <id>, skipping.

This is expected when a project uses all-default Request Details View settings in DC (no custom fields, attachments, issue links, or SLA visibility configured). In this case no action is needed.

If you expected this project to have custom settings, check the preceding warnings in the log for unresolved entities (link types, groups, SLA metrics). Once the missing entities are created in Cloud, either reconfigure the project manually or create a new migration plan for the affected project(s) with the App data only scope.

Why could SLA metrics not be fetched due to an API error?

Log message:

Could not fetch SLA metrics for project <id> (API error) — SLA visibility settings will be skipped for this project. Re-run migration to retry, or configure SLA visibility manually.

This message indicates an API error which occurred while retrieving SLA metric definitions for the Cloud project. It means that SLA visibility settings weren’t migrated for this project.

To fix the problem:

  • Run the migration plan again, as the issue may resolve on its own.
  • If the problem persists, configure SLA visibility for the affected project manually in the Request Details View settings.
